“This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step.”

~ 1 Peter 2:22

Uniting and equipping endurance athletes to impact their communities for Christ.

You’re a racer. Whether it be running, cycling, triathlon or something else; you’ve been called to participate in racing at some level. Why? Even at the most basic level, racing has a cost. For those who are driven to compete, especially at longer distances, the cost is high. There’s time to train; money for race fees, memberships, equipment, and travel; energy that could be spent at work, with your family, or serving others; and other resources that sometimes can’t even be counted. It is expensive! Our question: Is it worth it? Why do you race?

Stay fit

Fun

Time with Friends

Maintain/Improve health

Pride

Enjoy Competition

Desire to achieve physical goals

Personal Identity

Raise Awareness/Funds for others

Vanity

Awards

Others ___________

We could likely have a good discussion regarding the merit of each of the above, perhaps even labeling some “good” or “bad” reasons to race. Some justify the cost, some may not. In reality though, each of the above, on its own, may not be a great reason to race. The reason: each of the above is temporary. Whether the perceived or achieved rewards last for a day or until you die, it will likely eventually mean nothing in the eternal scheme of things.

So the question, “How can I race for something eternal?” What is completely fulfilling and can give peaceful purpose to your racing and life? What makes the cost worth it?

While we recommend that everyone read and understand the Bible (contact us if you would like a copy or help in doing this); on the right is a fair summary of it’s main message. By understanding and responding, you can race with a purpose and peace as you do it for God’s glory. You’ll know why you race, and it will be worth it!
